Good MorningEquity markets pulled back on Thursday despite better than expected economic data. Not only did the retail sales data for August come in well above consensus but the Philly Fed’s Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey echoed the Empire State manufacturing report from earlier this week by coming in nearly double the expectations. On the retail front, retail sales rose 0.7% for the month versus an expected decline and are up 15% from last year. On the manufacturing front, an increase in orders, deliveries, and a decline in customer inventories all point to solid activity in the second half of the year.
Next week, investors will turn their focus to the FOMC. There are a few economic reports on tap but the FOMC meeting will be the most important event of the week. The committee is not expected to alter its policy but it could shock the market with a more hawkish than expected stance.
